Auntie Knows Best

Lovely Betty – I love this sweet pussy cat.

Gentle and patient she is usually to be found snuggled up with one of the children. Don’t be fooled though, she is also a merciless killer.

Love her.

This afternoon I had to take the three cats to the vet for their annual vaccinations.

What was so lovely was that when we got into the consultation room the vet and her assistant let all the cats out and they were wandering about very happily. Fat Eric was charming as ever, although the vet said he is a little on the heavy side at 6.1kg. I think he is always worried about going missing again so it is his ’emergency weight’. He was so cute though.

Mabel stayed in her basket a while before exploring and Betty was constantly rubbing herself against the staff waiting to be petted.

We are lucky to have such good natured cats.

Just as well we aren’t worried about the pets sleeping on the bed. There was hardly room for The Little Miss in her bed tonight!

A day of ongoing sickness and tiredness.

Much time was spent lying around, watching TV and cuddling cats.

Betty absolutely loves the fire.

Every time I light it she she sidles in and plonks herself down and stretches out. Oh to be a cat!

I recently moved this cat tree to by the window in the kitchen. It is now Betty’s favourite place and she spends a lot of time sitting here in the sunshine watching the world go by. Oh to be a cat!

Betty is such a beautiful girl but she is also quite stupid.
I saw her standing in the middle of the road this morning.
You would have thought you would have learned her lesson!

Every night before bed Eric miaows until we put a pint of water in the bath for him to drink.

He was clearly very perturbed to find his sister Betty got there before he did.

So much love for this beautiful fury-ball.

Gentle and loving and puts up with a lot of manhandling from the kids and still keeps coming back for more.

Beautiful Betty.

I love this lovely girl and her gentle pussy cat. They spend a lot of time together and they make me smile.
